About the DigitALL Programme
The DigitALL programme aims to:
- Promote equal opportunities for young students in the acquisition and development of key competences, with a curriculum plan oriented towards an experiential learning model. The plan includes thematic content that helps to develop their competences to better prepare them for greater employability, socio-educational and personal development, as well as participation in civic and social life.
- One of the aims of the programme is to train teachers in the STEM teaching areas, in order to strengthen their skills and help in the process of student development and growth in the 21st century
The programme will be implemented using a face-to-face, distance learning and blended learning model. Therefore, this website will be a fundamental tool in implementing the DigitALL programme.
In face-to-face teaching, 1st and 2nd cycle students enrolled in state schools covered by the DigitALL programme will be directly impacted.
In terms of distance learning, 1st and 2nd cycle students will be impacted primarily, if they autonomously decide to carry out the open activities (self-learning) available on the platform, together with teachers of 1st and 2nd cycles who want to do the voluntary training activities available for teachers in the DigitALL Programme
The platform will also work as a tool for Municipalities and School Clusters to submit their applications to the DigitALL Programme, in accordance with the regulations in force during the period in which the applications are open.
